Hudson Soft's golden era

I wonder why Hudson soft stopped making shooters in the vein of Soldier Blade, super star soldier, etc. ?

I am wondering...

After soldier blade, did the team responsible for SSSoldier, Final soldier and soldier Blade ( as well as the carnival games... i won't say Gunhed since it was coded by Compile ) split up ? What happened exactly ?

I am also wondering... where the hell is Keita Hoshi, the person responsible for those brilliant chip tunes ? If I remember well, Keita Hoshi was also responsible for bomberman 93 and 94's BGM's.

What happened to the " soldier team " !

Another question : is there another remake in the works from hudson ? Now, I would love to see a super star soldier remake on the gamecube.

Yes, they have. Ninja Five-O was excellent. The best thing Hudson has done in years, if not ever.

^ I second that. Bomberman DS is pretty nice too.

Amen. Awesome game that didn't get nearly the exposure it deserves.

Main thing Hudson has been kicking around is the Mario Party games and a few other spinoff type deals. I still need to get Bomberman DS.

Now that Hudson Soft has the financial security of Konami, it would be cool if they decided to make a shmup again here and there.

I'm looking forward to Rengoku II.

Wouldn't mind if they revived the Bloody Roar series. Come on, it wasn't bad...

It was good, goofy fun. Shame Primal Fury was so broken gameplay-wise though. They had a real chance to balance Bloody Roar 3 and make it a serious contender. These fighting games only sell to tournament players now so they need to cater to that if they want to get anywhere. Casual gamers won't buy anything that isn't Tekken or Soul Calibur (and not even Soul Calibur anymore going by how "well" SCIII is doing).
